Mdmp 0906 09 Z 8th Annual Nitto Tire Shootout Front View

While cruising the vendor midway we had a chance to visit with our old friend Harvey Baker at Performance Automatic. Somehow we missed PA's booth while running ragged at the PRI show last December, but nonetheless we were impressed to hear from Harvey that PA is now building the 5R55S five-speed automatic. Even better still, is that PA offers the trick electronic trans with a small-block bellhousing and a standalone electronics package to control the trans (image this baby in your classic Mustang or Fox Mustang with two overdrives!).
